Thanks, Carl, for confirming something I have heard before.  You aren't 
the first person to tell me this.

Yes, I understand that the Teletec amps are really the only truly linear 
bricks.  They have a nice price too!

I'll send the stuff to you pretty quickly so I can get your info and fix 
the amps and have them work the way they should.
